张景尧，号五杨村人，砚池山人。
1945年生于山东历城。参加1987年国际周易学术研讨会，1989年参与中国周易研究会成立的筹备工作，曾在山东大学周易研究中心讲授周易术数学。
2008年在山东艺术学院开展《<周易>与中国传统绘画》讲座。
2009年参加《首届国际老子道学文化高层论坛》。
2010年5月14日在清华大学总裁班上讲述《周易别讲》，又于5月22日在北京大学乾元国学班上讲授《周易五行场论》。乾元国学班为北京大学哲学系所办。学员来自全国各界文、史、哲水平较高的人员。
“周易五行场论”是张先生在国内外学术界首次提出，他把“周易学说”与“五行学说”合而论之，并把朴素唯物论的五种物质元素提高到五种物质“场”的客观存在来认识，并阐述了中国传统绘画中“道”的哲学。该论文论点新颖，论据充分，从中国古代两千多年的朝代更替、战争胜败，建城立都等详细的阐述了五行场的存在所起的作用，并可能与西方自然科学的场论和场有哲学相沟通。
现为山东美术家协会会员，山东艺术学院客座教授，山东画院高级画师，鑫山道学研究员。
